What should be inside of Qt6HostInfoConfig.cmake?

Following tutorial https://wiki.qt.io/Cross-Compile_Qt_6_for_Raspberry_Pi I have troubles with configuring Qt on host machine. The problem is caused by the missing Qt6HostInfoConfig.cmake file. The error is described as follows:

Configuring submodule 'qtbase'
CMake Error at qtbase/cmake/QtSetup.cmake:268 (find_package):
  Could not find a package configuration file provided by "Qt6HostInfo" with
  any of the following names:

    Qt6HostInfoConfig.cmake
    qt6hostinfo-config.cmake

  Add the installation prefix of "Qt6HostInfo" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
  "Qt6HostInfo_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files.  If
  "Qt6HostInfo" provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it
  has been installed.

In internet there is no official solutions, so I am clueless what to do. Probably I should create Qt6HostInfoConfig.cmake file and point to it from something. But what must be inside of that file?

Hi.

Qt6HostInfoConfig.cmake should be found in the host (read desktop) Qt installation.

You should not create the file yourself, but rather specify a -DQT_HOST_PATH=/path/to/host/qt argument when configuring the Qt for raspberry Pi, to a prebuilt / installed host Qt (for example, the one that comes with your distro, or the one from the Qt installer)
